Review: Well-insulated and windproof winter jacket cycling pearsoncycles
The Pearson Test Your Mettle Cycling Insulated Jacket is a sportily cut fleece that's windproofed and insulated in all the best places. It does a decent job of keeping the water out too.As a perennial cold-runner, I've tried numerous ways of keeping warm on winter rides. Bottom of my list is the traditional jersey/gilet combination – I just get cold arms and then my hands are soon freezing.
The jacket looks great, flattering the figure with its close fit, nipped-in waist and swooping back panel seams that draw the eye away from any less-than-optimal body bulges. The all-blue scheme – a pale lime-green is available – looks classy and the windproof fabric at the front and sides has an attractive semi-shiny finish. It rustles slightly, in an anorak kind of way, but not so much that I found it annoying.
There is a quality full-length YKK zip and while Pearson has opted not to fit a waterproof zip, the generous baffle behind it had no problems keeping the weather out. I think it's the right decision too, as without taping all the seams the jacket is only ever going to be water-resistant rather than genuinely waterproof.
The Test Your Mettle comes in five sizes for chests from 36-45in. But while the large was spot on for my 40in chest and good at the waist, despite the jacket being a little larger than my waist, the body length was on the limit for my 6ft 3in height. However, my main problem was with the length of the sleeves.
In keeping with the jacket's generally close and sporty fit, the three fleecy back pockets sat well, without drooping when empty.
